:J)ecernber--- 1945

The waning year gets second wind for a fast finish. The North Wind blows a blast to test latent power. P lant life and the ground-hog go below frost line. Oak leaves crackle in the wind. The sun sinks early and stars expand to double summer size. Flickering flame has new appeal. -

Atom splitting and firing squads drop from the headlines as the Bohemian glass-blowing artist and the Swiss toy-maker take their place in the sun. P eace wraps humanity in its soothing folds. Jagged war memories are sanded clean by new hopes and broadened tolerant viewpoints.

High purpose pervades the mind. Flaming candle and sparkling tinsel symbolize the eclipse of prejudice and hate. Friendliness is the vogue. Cheerfulness prevails. The catalyst, good will, t ransforms and purifies thought and action.

IN THE SCHOOL ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT, hanging foot­ball suits stir posthumously when the store-room door opens. Basketball roars in to proclaim itself king. Yesterday's cham­pions make way for today's challengers. The Coach turns from memories of what old teams have done to vision of what the new team can do. The administrator hopes for constructive leadership by those with athletic prowess but keeps his fingers crossed. The English teacher raises the window another six

inches for the period following gym class as the !:>mell of ersatz rubber blendE with that of sweat and dirty socks.

DECEMBER GAMES are vitalized by the holiday spirit. Early season victory is a good omen. The sting of defeat is assuaged by hope for later tournament suc­cess. An Official's adverse decision is tolerated in a spirit of good fellowship in this brief era of good will. Former stars, recently returned from the serious busi­ness of yesterday , look on as current sharpshooters flash across the floor in light­ning-fast strategic patterns which leave no time for thought of a possible serious business of tomorrow. Life is for today and it is good when the mind is flooded with warming waves of friendliness.

For the good things you have done in 1945-for the fine things you are doing, and for the great things you plan to do in 1946-a medal of merit. May the holi­

day flame and tinsel be a symbol of happiness and contentment which will hover around you and yours through this December and on to more Decembers.

That is the wish,

Wished for you this Holiday Season.

The large correspondence coming to the president and the secretary tliis fall has some commendable features and at the same time indicates a trend not previously observed. Many principals and coaches are apparently reading neither the Rules and Regulat ions of the K.H.S.A.A. nor · the monthly issues of THE ATHLETE. We are quite ready and willing to pass on a ll questions of eligibility if there is any question of. doubt. However, too m any letters a re needed to answer questions that are definitely answered in the Handbook. A more careful reading of the rules by the principals and coaches will save much time and correspondence since m; new provisions have been made to cover special cases. Almost daily letters come to the president asking if certain provisions h ave been made, or stating that it has been rumored t h at the Board of Control h as adopted some new policy.

The r ules changes are m ade by the Delegate As­sembly; the Board of Control has no authority to legislate nor to m ake exceptions to the rules except in the one or two cases specifically provided. It should be remembered that the rules are just as binding on the officers as they are on m ember schools and that we have no authority to evaluate the merits of cases for which exceptions are requested.

Quite a number of letters recently have m ade pleas for special consideration based on the so -called "spirit of the rules." Of course we are quite familiar with t h e-spirit of the rules as well as of the letter. Never­theless, any effort to enforce the rules and apply "the spirit formula" would r esult in a complete breakdown since each principal or coach feels that his particular case should be decided by the spirit of the rules and not by the letter. It just can't be done that way.

A boy who was compelled to remain on the farm and do the work left by brothers who were drafted into

the service has, no doubt, made a valuable contribution

to the cause for which they fought. The spirit of the rules m ay entitle this boy to special consideration. The letter of the rules makes him ineligible until he has again been enrolled and in attendance for one semes­ter. Since we a re not authorized to evaluate reasons for n on-attendance we must follow the rules just as they are written. Another boy changes schools be­cause he must have certain courses not offered in his home school. He too is entitled to special considera:. tion , but the rules provide for no exceptions if he has participated in interscholastic athletics.

It is the business of the State Association to en­courage participation and to see to it that the eligible athletes are given the right to play. That the offichils attempt to do, but it must be done within the pre.­scribed limits of t he rules set up by the member schools. If these rules are found to be too restrictive then they must be changed. That is a matter to be determnied by the principals and not by the officers • wh o have no legislative authority.

IMPORTANT! And no implication that the pre­vious paragraphs are unimportant. It has recently been brought to our attention that schools in some localities persist in employing and using non-registered officials. This is a definite violation of the rules for which a rigid penalty is provided and made manda­tory.

RULE XXVII, Section 1. Any official who serves as Referee, Umpire, Field Judge, or Head Linesman in football or as a Referee or Umpire in a · basketball gam e between member schools of the K . H. S. A. A. must be registered with the secretary of the Association and must h ave .his official card indicating proper 'regis­tration.

Rule XXVII, Section 12. In all m atters concerning officials the home school sh all be held responsible and for failure to comply ·With the regulations concerning officials SHALL BE SUSPENDED FROM THE AS­SOCIATION. NOTE: The Board of Control in recent m eeting directed the writing of this warning to mem­ber schools: Schools found guilty· of violating this ·rule WILL BE SUSPENDED. There is never excuse ·for using non-registered officials-. You have to use some­one and that someone can be r egistered and profit ·by the help which the Officials Division provides. ·

RULE XXXIV is another t h at should be carefully read. "The President of the K . H. S . A. A. shall have the authority to waive the twenty-day and the pre­ceding semester rules in establishing the eligibility of an y boy discharged from military service, provided that such boy shall enter school not later than twenty days after the beginning of the semester immediately following th e date of his discharge from the service."

It will be seen that this m akes no provision for· the use of players who have become 20 years of age. THE AGE LIMIT HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED. However, in response to scores of requests the following refer.. endum will be submitted to the member schools for their consideration ALL CONTESTANTS WILL BE­COME INELIGIBLE ON THEIR TWENTIETH BIRTHDAY EXCEPT THAT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN HONORABLY DISCHARGED FROM THE SERVICE WILL BECOME INELIGIBLE ON THEIR TWENTY -FIRST BIRTHDAY."

REFERENDUM Early in November the secretary, by

authorization of the Board of . Control, sub­mitted to member schools for a referendum vote the following proposal: By-Law II shall be amended to read as follows: "All contestants will become ineligible on their

. twentieth birthday except boys who have received an honorable discharge from mili­tary service. These contestants will become ineligible on their twenty-first birthday." The referendum carried by a vote of 160 to 72, the affirmative votes being more than the necessary two-thirds required to amend the by-laws. President Bridges has declared that the amended By-Law is to be put into effect immediately.

Attention is called to the fact that ·an ex-service man who is twenty years of age is not automatically eligible when he enrolls in school. By-Law XXXIV gives the Presi­dent of the K. H. S. A. A. authority to waive the "twenty-day" and the "preceding semes­ter" rules in establishing the eligibility of any boy discharged from military service. President Bridges has waived these rules when it was apparent that the education of the boy had been interrupted by his entry into the armed services. It is necessary for each case to be explained fully to the Presi­dent of the association. The amended By­Law was devised for the purpose of helping boys who left school and went immediately into military service without having com­pleted their eight semesters in high school. Present twenty-year old boys who had been out of school for SOJlle time before they volunteered or were drafted are not eligible to participate in athletics until they have been in school at least one semester since their discharge.

EDITOR'S NOTE Every individual and every organization

is susceptible to mistakes and is likely to make backward steps. In the strictly per­sonal opinion of the writer, the Association has done both in adopting the referendum permitting twenty year olds to participate in high school athletics. I am convinced that no school man in the state has more liberal views on the subject of giving every discharged veteran an opportunity to com­plete his high school course than myself. In fact our school has gone the seventh mile in accepting credits earned while in service and means to provide every opportunity for any returning soldier to receive a diploma. On the other hand for older and physically hardened boys to participate against younger high school boys in competitive athletics is

Frankfort's 10 Wins Is Tops In State

By Ken Taylor, Ass't Sports Editor, Courier-Journal

Frankfort is the champ:on of K en tucky high school footl:>a ll teams based on The Courier-Journal's won-lost standing and Owensboro is the runner-up.

The final standing shows the Panthers, coached by Raymond "Red" Herndon, t o h ave won 10 games, tied one and lost none, and Owensboro to have won eight, tied none and lost none.

Harlan was th e only other undefeated team among the 84 in the K en t ucky campaign, but the Green Dragons were tied t wice.

B ETTER AVERAGE Although Frankfort was t ied, th e m ark on the

record came from a team t hat won five games and lost only one, Lexington, and the r ecords of Frankfort 's victims as a whole are better th an t h e r ecords of Owensboro's victims.

Frankfor t 's opponents won 42 games and lost 42 for a .500 percentage, whereas Owensboro 's foes won only 26 and lost 40 for a percentage of .394.

Th~s is the final r ecord on Frankfort 's 10 victims in the order in which t h ey played Frankfort : Team W L T Newport Catholic . . . . . . . .. ..... 2 6 0 Winchester . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 2 0 Lexington . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 1 1 Madison . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 1 0 Versailles . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 7 0 Shelbyville . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 6 0 Hazard . . . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...... 3 4 2 Flaget . . ... . . .... . .. . .. . . . . . . . . . . . 2 4 1 Georgetown . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 2 0 P aris ...... . ..... ...... ... .. 3 6 0 Middlesboro . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 3 0

Owensboro h ad the bet ter offense, averaging 32.1 points in eight games, but Frankfort h ad the better defensive record, granting an average of 2.4 points , in 11 games. Frankfort's offense averaged 26.5 points a game and Owensboro's defense 2.9 points.

Owensboro, however, h ad the ,fewest points scor­ed against it in th e entire state, only 23. Middlesboro had the most prolific scoring team. m aking 309 points in 10 games and was followed by Danv:lle with 307 in 10 tilts and Manual with 300 in 10.

UNUSUAL Middlesboro's record was unusual. The Yellow­

jackets were scored on only in th ree games by Knox~ ville , Tenn., City High , Manual and Frankfort-bu~ they lost a ll three games . The first two losses were their first two games of the season and their third loss was .in the Shrine game at Lexington on Thanksgiv­ing Day.

Every team in the Commonwealth scored a.t least one touchdown, a lt hough McKell had to put it ove1' in the final game of its season . ·

Thirty-eight t eams fin ished wit h a .500 percentage or better.

The KENTUCKY HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETE

Since the teams are r anked, first according to the games won and lost by percentage and then by their t ies and their scoring, the teams are numbered in the final standing. Ties count in favor of teams wh~ch have a percentage below .500 becaus.e it ran the risk of losing and d'dn't against a team in the upper division because it had a chance to win a game and didn't .

In one case of a tie in the number of points scored one took rank because of the lower numl:>er of points scored against it.

fe/ereeJ ' Corner By Charlie VeUiner

It's open season for "Polecats" as the current basketball season begins to gather steam. They'll be howling soon in Ruby's Report even louder than last year because­think how many baby "polecats" have been born since then.

The only howling to be heard in Glen­eyerie is gleeful. The good citizens of that basketball center are cheering the return of Johnnie McCreary from the wars. The old Tomkinsville "flash" is hard at work with the promising Gleneyerie squad which means trouble for a lot of baH clubs.

Ran into Mrs. Harry Lancaster in Bag­dad tl;le other night and she gave out with the information that Harry is still in -Europe and that she is mighty impatient for his home-coming. Associated with the U. of K. Athletic Department, Harry enjoys the repu­tation of being one of the finest football a,nd basketball scouts in Kentucky. In'cidentally when this popular fellow does return we can add one more top-notch basketball offi­cial to Kentucky's growing list.

While we are "bumming" around Shelby County let's put nearby officials wise to the fact that they should have their "squeaky joints" well-oiled for thier games in that section bedl.use all of the teams this "Tom" has seen are evenly-matched and using fast­breaks so much that poor old "Tom Whistler" hardly gets started in one direction than he is forced to strip his "gears" getting into re­verse for the other. "Tom" suggested to Jim Burnette, Finchville coach, that the K. H. S. A. A. pass a law whereby it would be illegal for teams to fast-break until a:fter Xmas when officials would be rid of their fat, burdensome tummies. t

Down at Waddy they are calling Joe Donovan "Green Grass Joe" because each time Joe coaches a green team he comes up with "somethin' ". All of this re­minds us of a motto Bruce · Daniel has posted in his Shelbyville locker room, "When you are green you are growing, when you are ripe you are rotten. Stay Green." Bruce, who is one of nature's noblemen as far as officials, who work for him are concerned, may have "something" about this "Green" yarn. Shelbyville has had one of Mrs. Green's boys on the football and basketball squads for years and every one of her boys has been top-flight. You can bet your last red ration point that Bruce had a field day the Saturday that Army swamped Notre Dame with his latest · of the Green's, Jack,

looking like a "man-mountain" for Army. The Paducah Junior Chamber of Com­

merce is all set for it's Christmas Invita­tional Tournament, which will be held December 28-29. The Jaycees invite eight out-standing teams to Paducah each year and Paducah fans really "eat that tourna­ment up." Bill Powell, serving as chairman of the meet, expects last year's winner, Metropolis, IlL, to be back to defend its title. Tilghman and St. ,Mary's are to serve as co-hosts. The word passed along to us has it, as official, that Bowser Chest and Hickman Duncan will be tooting the whistles.

While we are on the subject of Christ­mas Tournaments let us tell ·you that you can expect a dandy at Columbia the Thurs­day and Friday after Christmas. While nothing official has come from Coach John Burr, who will sponsor the tourney, we have it from Charlie Clift that Columbia is pre­paring for a better tournament than Charlie put on while he was coaching Columbia last year. That should be a real affair since every session was a sell-out last year. It's invitational so maybe you'll be invited. If so, I'll eat dinner with you.

At least a dozen "guys" have told me in the past two weeks how much they enjoy reading the Kentucky High School Athlete

_ but 'not one of those customers penned one word to W. B. Owen, who is responsible for the publication which every coach and offi­cial eagerly looks for when the middle of the month rolls around. Drop Bernie a card-he'll be glad to hear from you. In case you don't know W. B. let me tell you that he is one of Kentucky's all-time great basketball coaches. During his regime at Horse Cave his teams were " too hot to handle." Even now I recall a final game of the State Tournament more than a decade ago when Owen's Horse Cavers narrowly missed capturing the State Title, losing to Ashland. The one thing I remember about the editor of your Athlete is that when he loses he takes it "on the chin" with never a squawk. W. B., who is superintending Leitchfield's schools, has proven himself to be as great a newspaperman as he was a coach. "Bernie, we like the job you do with the Athlete."

Gleason McCubbin and his old familiar smile are now located at Glendale. When my old friend, J. M. F. Hays, the guiding light of Glendale's education heard that Mac had finished his job for his Uncle he tagged this good-natured fellow and said, "Buddy, how'd you like to do a little coaching for me at Glendale?" There's only one answer to a question like that because anybody would

Page Eight

like to coach for J. M. F. When Tommy Houk wrapped his belong­

ings in his polka-dot pajamas and headed south to handle the coaching duties for the current season at Horse Cave he tossed his "Howevalley" torch to a good coach and a "swell fellow". Howevalley's new coach, Johnnie Gardner, will be remembered by Hardin County officials, as a winner on the hardwood and an excellent handler of boys.

A letter from down Drakesboro way asks if Harry Hardin is' still putting on weight mid-way between his head and his feet. The old Western "light" has purchased a whistle and is now a member of the "Offi­ciating Brotherhood". The answer to Drakes­boro is that Harry is going to be stream-lined if he sweats through many more close ones like he whistled at Taylorsville this week.

The date for the annual Catholic tourna­ment in Owensboro has been set for Thurs­day and Friday of February 21-22. This tournament, which was captured last year by St. Joseph's of Owensboro, is fast be­coming one of the most interesting affairs of the basketball season. Credit is due Rev. Robert Connor, the genial ·little priest who master-minds St. Frances, and Harold Mischel, the austere mentor of the St. Joe Rams. "Peanuts" Johnson and Lawrence Mc­Ginnis have done a masterful job of working the tournameRt for the past two years. This reporter would like to remark that these two arbiters always turn in neat officiating performances.

Uncle Ed is taking his Western "Hill­toppers" to Paducah on December 10 for a "joust" with Southern Illipois. With De­Paul meeting Murray there on January 14 Paducah js assured of two big-time ball games for this season.

Back in 1933 Leon Cook used to have your "Gabby Re­porter" work some ball games for him at Burkesville. It was then that we first met one of Leon's outstanding players, who was later to become basketball coach of Centre Co 11 e g e, Campbellsville High School, and one of the most efficient basketball officials in circulation now.

Paul Coop . His coaching job at Campbellsville prevents his officiating as much as his neighboring coaches would like, but Paul Coop finds time to make quite a

few "sashays" into basketball's "Dreamland" with his little whistle. P aul will have his team at the Christmas tournament at Columbia.

And now, fellows, for a couple of ticklish plays. If your team happens to meet up with Dillard Moore's Sonora outfit you'll see this one. It's Sonora's ball out of bounds underneath their own basket. As soon as the referee calls the ball out of bounds three players jam the foul lane placing them­selves squarely against the end line. Since there is a three second count in the. foul lane while the team is in control of the ball, and since there is a ·five second count grant­ed to the player throwing the ball in, a half dozen coaches want to know if one takes precedence over the other. The answer, my friends, is that neither count takes pre­cedence over the other. The man, out of bounds, has five seconds to get the ball in play but the three second count does not begin until the ball has crossed the end line on the throw-in. Another dozen and a half of my coaching friends have written asking if 'it's legal for Dillard to jam up the foul lane with his Sonora boys thus screening out opposing players. "My friends , it cer­tainly is legal. Any player getting to a

·floor position first is legally entitled to that position." Dilly, . my boy, you are within the law.

Here's another which came to us from Ralph Carlisle of Fort Thomas~ Coach A lists John Doe on the starting line-up as his center but when the ball is tossed for the opening jump Doe is at forward. Team A scores on the tip-off. Now the informa-tion Ralph wants is: Should that goal be can­celled since Coach A confused the defense by this procedure? The answer is no. The official should have checked to make sure everything was O.K. before tossing the ball u:r*-if he neglected to do this there is nothing that can be done about it after play has started. The only consolation you have, Ralph, is to dock the "Blind Tom" two bits from his fee-but then the poor guy's wife and kids would starve. I would not care about the two bits too much myself because Flossie is eating too much anyway.

Breezed down to Bloomfield the other night to whistle a couple for the "Sage of Salt River Valley," Bill Buckles. We got the surprise of our lives though to find genial Bill with his number 12's parked on his superintendent's desk chewing on a wad of blow gum while out there in the gym his Bloomfield boys were getting last minute instructions from Joe Chaney, just returned from the Navy. "Yep," said Bill, as he stuf­fed another hunk of "School Teachers' De-

li~ht" in, with the other wad, "I'm a lucky fellow-! ve got hold of Joe, who learned his basketball under Leitchfield's W. B. Owen, so Bloomfield is eyeing big things." Glad to see you back, Joe-hope you don't get home-sick for the Navy.

Brethren, when you speak of Ashland's Ernie Chattin speak kindly because the gentle citizens of ·======-= that area just won't stand, for anything else. Known all over Kentuckyas anum­ber one football coach and official, Ernie will be re­membered as the "gen~" who helped Paul Jenkins mold those great Ashland teams of a few y e a r s ago. Dick Tyler, who is the most coach-courted m e n t o r in those Ernie Chattin parts since college coaches found out about his big boy, Johnnie Thomas, tells us that Ernie is a most sought-after basketball offi­cial in the area about Morehead, Fleming County, and Ashland. Ernie has always served as chairman of the Ashland basket­ball clinic and has been largely responsible for the large turn-outs we have always had there. Ernie's the kind of chap you like to "bump into," chat with a while, and then go away feeling that you've learned some­thing from that brief c'onversation.

fellow man. The characters are Coach "Tiny" Jones of Dayton, Referee Monne Ferrell, the Dayton basket ball team, and the Breckenridge Training team-the time is about 16 years ago when Monne, who be­came one of Officialdom's greats, was just starting his officiating career.

Dayton and Breckenridge Training were battling it out in the final round for the right to go to the state tournament. "Tiny" wanted to take his team to that state meet ' as much as he ever wanted anything in, his life, and it looked like he was going to get there because his team was leading by one :point with seconds left to play. But then It happened-a Breckenridge player took a crack at he basket and missed, but Monne caught one of Tiny's boys in the act of push­ing and called the foul as the game ended. · The result was that the boy made both throws good and Dayton lost. It was a tough spot for a young official , to be in-if you know what I mean-but the story has a happy ending. Approaching Monne from the bench came "Tiny" Jones, tears in his eyes but with his hand out-stretched uttering words of a Kentucky sportsman as he sa1d, "Monne, I wouldn't have liked you if you had not called that foul." It took "guts" to call that foul and it took "guts" for a coach to take it on the chin. However, Kentucky is. full of coaches just like King Sportsman, himself. Just to mention a few let's name Joe Gilly, Harlan; Doug Smith, Elizabeth­town; Earle Jones, Maysville; Roy Eversole, Hazard; and lots of others. Kentucky's just a grand old state-you can't get away from that fact.

An athletic orchid is due Cave City's hard-working official Joe Billy Mansfield for the pounding he gave his ar ches last year as he roamed the countryside armed with his whistle; a paternal orchid is due this same gen­tleman who recently welcomed a brand new cheerleader to the Mansfield house­hold- old "Gabby" suggested n a m i n g the little addition Ref Feree but they are c a 11 i n g her Gayle instead; one more orchid for Joe and his bouquet is Joe B. Mansfield complete-this one is for the work he did in helping to promote a good attendance at the Bowling Green clinic. Nice "goin'" Joe.

Thanksgiving are cleared away, the stage is set for another rip-roaring basket ball season with many quintettes well on their way. After a hurried glance at the program for the 1945 sta te tournament and a ·casual survey of early season reports, it seems that the following at least may be among those who will stand a bit of watching before tournament time ar­rives.

altogether something else. In the first place I am convinced that a very limited number will expect or desire to take a position on the high school teams realizing that they now belong to a different league having been members in many instances of teams com­posed of college players and professionals. In the second place those who may have in­sisted, I believe, could readily have been per­suaded to see differently. Again, difficulties will arise concerning credits earned in ser­vice when they are translated into semesters. For instance boot training and basic t r ain -

Lessened demand from our armed forces for all kinds of athletic equip­ment will release for civilian consumption more athletic equipment. How soon will the release of GO\·ernment orders be felt is a guess.

It is our belief that goods heretofore in the critical category w ill be available soon in limited quantities.

We recommend tha t schools and colleges take stock of their require­ments fo r all of 1946 and place orders now.

Sutcilffe's will be glad to accept such orders, with the provisiOn to change specif ications any time prior to date of shipment, except in case of "specially" made items.

Honor and Class sweater season is at hand. We strongly urge you to place your order now. There will be a delay. Our present sources of supply are far behind. We wrll do our level best to complete all sweater orders placed with us before the school season closes. This does not mean that all orders will be delayed till the end of the season. It does mean, however. that some orders will not be completed before April 15th.

We can ship within two weeks. orders for gold and silver football and basketball awards.
